Pierre-Olivier Joseph (D) – Undisclosed (Out)
Teddy Blueger (C) – Undisclosed (Out/Day-to-Day)

Projected Player Matchups
Nazem Kadri – Yegor Sharangovich – Matthew Coronato (CGY) vs. Elias Pettersson – Brock Boeser – Jake DeBrusk (VAN)
Kadri’s physicality and Coronato’s emerging scoring touch face Vancouver’s top trio led by Pettersson’s playmaking.
Mikael Backlund – Blake Coleman (CGY) vs. Conor Garland – Nils Aman (VAN)
A defensive-minded matchup where Calgary’s shutdown line will try to neutralize Vancouver’s secondary scoring.
MacKenzie Weegar & Rasmus Andersson (CGY D) vs. Quinn Hughes & Filip Hronek (VAN D)
Two elite puck-moving pairs; Hughes’ offensive dynamism is the X-factor.
Dustin Wolf (CGY, G) vs. Thatcher Demko (VAN, G)
Wolf is Calgary’s young starter after a strong preseason, while Demko remains Vancouver’s backbone.
